Ideas for the Ever Elusive Men's Gift-giving

Paulsmith_miniwallet

Shopping for gifts for men is just brutal. No matter how well you know the guy you're buying for, the brain becomes a giant, grey void when it comes to finding that thing he'll really love and also shows you went out of your way to find something special. (That's if he already has an X-Box or you refuse to buy him one).

Paulsmith_wallet While actually not looking for gifts (I already got something wicked but can't say until later - a rare achievement that comes down to timing), I found this leather Paul Smith wallet with a photo of a striped mini (the stripes being Paul Smith's signature graphic) in a field, printed on the inside. For someone who's a bit quirky and stylish, I think something like this might be appreciated. And it's plain black on the outside so if he's shy about his tendencies he can keep them a secret.

And for a gag gift (albeit an expensive one), or if you are both just into these things, there's the 'naked lady' wallet:

Maybe not the best choice for your boss (male or female), male family members, or your minister/priest/rabbi/etc.

I'll add more things as I find them. Assuming I do...

Update: I just showed this one to my husband, and his reaction was to ask "Can you customise the picture??"
